lifestyle/wedding photographer
I’m Summer, your biggest fan.
Hi friends! I’m Summer.
Photographer, professional hype girl, cool aunt, collector of random shit, lover of anything colorful, and the person who will absolutely be laying on the ground or climbing on something to get the shot.
I’ve been doing this since 2018, which is honestly wild to say out loud. What started as me picking up a camera turned into a whole ass career, a studio, some incredible adventures, and getting to create art with some pretty damn cool people.
Somewhere along the way, photography became way more than just taking pretty pictures for me. I love getting to know people, watching families grow, documenting the big shit and the little shit, and creating photos that actually feel like the people in them.
I love color. I love movement. I love weird ideas. I love the photos where everyone is laughing way more than the ones where everyone is perfectly looking at the camera.
And lately, I’ve fallen even more in love with just creating.
Give me the weird idea. Let me build the ridiculous set. Wear the outfit you think is “too much.” Let’s drive somewhere cool just because we can. Give me some creative freedom and I promise we’re going to make some cool ass art.
I’m loud. I cuss. My ADHD is at an all time high. I’ll probably overshare with you within the first 15 minutes. And I will hype you up like we’ve known each other for years.
Basically, if you want stiff, quiet, perfectly posed photos, I’m probably not your girl.
But if you want to laugh, have fun, embrace a little chaos, and walk away with photos that actually feel like you, come hang out with me.
All people, all love, all bodies, all religions, all genders, all ethnicities are welcome in front of my camera.
The only discrimination around here is toward hate.
Come as you are. ☀️
- My middle name is actually Sunshine. Yes, really.
- I’m the cool aunt and an even more ridiculous pet mom.
- Sweet tea and Red Bull are basically food groups at this point.
- If I could time travel, drop my ass directly into the ’70s.
- I will ALWAYS choose the colorful option.
- I collect vintage things, weird little treasures, art, and basically anything that makes my brain happy.
- I’m getting married in 2027, so I finally get to be on the other side of the wedding chaos.
- Tell me we’re traveling for photos and I’m probably already packing.
- My ADHD has approximately 47 tabs open at all times.
- I genuinely think life is too short to make boring art.

NEXT DESTINATION?
This was our third session with Summer,
and somehow she continues to outdo herself every time. From the direction to the energy to the way she captures the tiniest moments, we're never disappointed. She just gets us, and it shows in every single photo.
Melissa Druien
Summer is incredibly attentive and knowledgeable with each shoot.
Her patience and attention to detail made all the difference. We've used her for a small family shoot and booked her again for our 10-year vow renewal. I was so impressed with her ideas and input to ensure we captured every moment. I would trust her with any special event and can't wait for our next session.
Amanda Purser
Summer is amazing!
She worked with me to quickly schedule my maternity session when my original plans fell through. We've been back several times since, and every experience has exceeded our expectations. She's positive, communicative, reasonably priced, and truly talented. We highly recommend her for any photography needs!

Summer made family photos effortless
and enjoyable for our large family after more than 15 years without portraits. She guided us through outfits, communicated clearly, and showed kindness and flexibility throughout the entire process. Her genuine care for our family made all the difference.
Elissia Copeland
No one else even comes close to the amazing pictures she takes.
She was more than willing to go on an adventure for my son's senior session, and it became a core memory for both of us. She's creative, kind, and makes every session fun.
Noelle Scarfone
The final photos were absolutely breathtaking.
Bella Gridley
Every image was beautifully composed and expertly edited, capturing the moment perfectly. I couldn't be happier and would highly recommend Summer to anyone looking for a photographer who truly cares about her clients.
I had the absolute best experience with Summer for my graduation photos!
he made me feel comfortable in front of the camera, was incredibly patient and professional, and the final photos turned out even better than I imagined.

A Shot of Sunshine has done all of our family
pictures since 2020 and I wouldn’t even consider using anyone else. Summer is great with my girls, always seems happy to see us, and is always so encouraging. At this point, she has become a part of the family. We love Summer.Wonderful experience! Summer is such a professional. She captures important moments beautifully.

I will never go to any other photographer,
Summer is the absolute best. Not only do the pictures come out amazing but she is a great person and makes every session feel natural & fun!

You can tell this is truly her passion.
